Pre-release history

The song was premiered at a Sakura Gakuin concert in July 2011 and a month later performed at the Tokyo Idol Festival. According to Blabbermouth.net, "It quickly created a buzz due to its mix of melodic speed metal, sensational lyrics around the theme of "Ijime" and the band's performance, which incorporates the "Wall of Death."" An early version of the song can be heard in a video on the band's official YouTube channel entitled "Babymetal - My First Heavy Metal in Tokyo 2012", which also features part of a live performance of "Iine!".

According to the band's website, guitars on the "Nemesis" version of the song were recorded by former Arch Enemy (melodic death metal band) guitarist Christopher Amott.
